Rich,
if there's anything we could do to help we should. i know for the fact Ben doesn't like people posting pic with him in the car. maybe u should remove the pic if u're willing to do so.

This is an absolute tragedy, I didn't know Ben apart from reading his posts, may he rest in peace, my prayers and thoughts go to his loved ones that he leaves behind.

I can't beleive this! Ben is a great friend of mine. This is the first I heard about this. Does anyone know what happened? I'm going to call his home now.

Unbelievably sad...having recently had a child myself, I find this just too stunning for words.

May he rest in peace, and with time, I hope his family can find some sort of tranquility.

just unbelievable....I'm just sick


RIP Ben, never knew you, but knew you were a good guy.

I'm with all of you. Never met Ben, but recognized his contribution to this board and "knew" him as a real car enthusiast.

I know he has a new baby girl, and can't imagine how his family -- or the family of the passenger -- are coping.

RIP and godspeed to his family and friends.


Sad.

Done. I just know that he would want to remembered for happier times.

And that takes away my hopes of seeing him post that this was all a mistake.

I still can't believe it. I knew the guy, met him a couple times, and I am in shock. RIP Ben. I am still at a loss for words.

I have a pit in my stomach reading this. What a terrible loss, my heart goes out to Ben and his family. The board lost one of its coolest members today

Wow. Sitting here stunned ...

Really too shocked to comment coherently. I just had a long conversation with him 2 weeks ago. He helped me get floor mats for my new Turbo and ding service for my old one.

... And saw him and his car at an event in Carlsbad ...


RIP Ben.
